waiting

We are two weeks into the possible 8 week wait (before the LAST wait of approx. 6 weeks). I'll say the obvious, "It is hard to wait!" This last week ,Peter said with a sad heart," I can't take it anymore! I want Lydia to come home." We all as a family feel his pain. All of our hearts long for her to be home. But God has blessed us with each other to lean on and wait with. Because of this journey we are all closer. We have prayed together, fasted together, dreamed together and waited together.

A friend who has adopted three times over gave us this fridge magnet when we started our adoption that reads the following;

Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the Lord!
Psalm 27:14

She knew we would need to read it.
